It is assumed that the personnel installing, configuring, and operating the system have the
knowledge equal or greater than that of a qualified Instrument Technician familiar with
safety-related systems, process control applications, and general instrument use.
Note
The Rosemount 5300 Level Transmitter is not safety-rated during maintenance work,
configuration changes, multidrop, loop test, or other activity that affects the safety
function. Alternative means should be used to ensure process safety during such activities.
8.6 Configuring in SIS applications
Use a HART-compliant master, such as Rosemount Radar Master or a handheld
communicator, to communicate with and verify configuration of the Rosemount 5300
Level Transmitter. A full review of configuration methods is available in Configuration.
These instructions are applicable to the Rosemount 5300 Level Transmitter safety-
certified options with any differences noted.
8.6.1
Damping
User adjusted damping will affect the transmitter’s ability to respond to process changes.
Therefore, the damping values + response time should not exceed the loop requirements.
For further information on damping, see Damping value.
8.6.2
Alarm and saturation levels
DCS or safety logic solver should be configured to handle both High alarm and Low alarm.
In addition, the transmitter must be configured for High or Low alarm (see Alarm mode).
Figure 8-2 identifies the alarm levels available and their operation values
(8)
.
(8) In certain cases, the transmitter does not go into the user defined alarm state. For example, in case of a short circuit, the
transmitter goes into High Alarm state even if Low Alarm has been configured.
